Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to Revoke Countervailing Duty Orders.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is notifying the
public of its intent to revoke the countervailing duty orders listed
below. Domestic interested parties who object to revocation of any of
these orders must submit their comments in writing not later than the
last day of March 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Albright or Cameron Cardozo,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department may revoke a countervailing duty order if the
Secretary of Commerce concludes that it is no longer of interest to
interested parties. Accordingly, as required by the Department's
regulations (at 19 C.F.R. 355.25(d)(4)), we are notifying the public of
our intent to revoke the countervailing duty orders listed below, for
which the Department has not received a request to conduct an
administrative review for the most recent four consecutive annual
anniversary months.
In accordance with section 355.25(d)(4)(iii) of the Department's
regulations, if no domestic interested party (as defined in sections
355.2(i)(3), (i)(4), (i)(5), and (i)(6) of the regulations) objects to
the Department's intent to revoke these orders, and no interested party
(as defined in section 355.2(i) of the regulations) requests an
administrative review in accordance with the Department's notice of
opportunity to request administrative review, we shall conclude that
the countervailing duty orders are no longer of interest to interested
parties and proceed with the revocations. However, if an interested
party does request an administrative review in accordance with the
Department's notice of opportunity to request administrative review, or
a domestic interested party does object to the Department's intent to
revoke pursuant to this notice, the Department will not revoke the
order.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The anniversary month for the cases with an asterisk was January.
However, due to the partial shutdown of the Federal Government from
December 16, 1995 through January 6, 1996, the Department was unable
to publish a notice of intent to revoke these orders by January 1,
1996, pursuant to the Department's regulations. As a result, we have
included these orders in this notice, which is the first notice of
``intent to revoke countervailing duty orders'' to be published since
the Department resumed operations. We are giving all interested
parties until March 31, 1996 to object to our intent to revoke these
orders. In addition, the Department published a notice of
``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of these orders on
January 26, 1996. We did not receive a timely request for review of
any of the orders. Therefore, if we do not receive a timely objection
to our intent to revoke the orders, the orders will be revoked.
Opportunity to Object
Not later than the last day of March 1996, domestic interested
parties may object to the Department's intent to revoke these
countervailing duty orders. Any submission objecting to the revocation
must contain the name and case number of the order and a statement that
explains how the objecting party qualifies as a domestic interested
party under sections 355.2(i)(3), (i)(4), (i)(5), or (i)(6) of the
Department's regulations.
A separate objection must be filed for each order. In instances
where two or more countervailing duty orders share the same case number
(e.g., C-489-502 covers carbon steel pipes and tubes and carbon steel
line pipe from Turkey), an objection must be submitted for each
separate order, as listed above.
Seven copies of any such objections should be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, Room B-099, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street
and Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230.
This notice is in accordance with 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(i).
Dated: February 22, 1996.
Roland L. MacDonald,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
